HeartCode ACLS Part 1 is for healthcare professionals who either direct or participate in the management of cardiopulmonary arrest and other cardiovascular emergencies, specifically those seeking an alternative (nonclassroom) method for completing an initial or update ACLS Course.

HeartCode ACLS Part 1 requires prior knowledge that will be applied in using the ACLS treatment algorithms. Unprepared or inexperienced students may require additional time to complete HeartCode ACLS Part 1. To be successful in any ACLS course, students should be able to identify ECG rhythms and should know pharmacology specific to cardiopulmonary arrest and other cardiopulmonary emergencies before beginning the course. It is strongly recommended that students review the ACLS course materials contained within the program and complete the Precourse Self-Assessment prior to attempting the patient cases.

• Key changes in advanced cardiovascular life support, reflecting the 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care• Ten adult patient cases with up to four healthcare providers, presented through eSimulation technology: – One BLS case – Seven cases representing cardiovascular, respiratory and stroke emergencies – Two Megacodes• Recognition and early management of respiratory and cardiac arrest• Recognition and early management of periarrest conditions such as symptomatic bradycardia• Airway management• Related pharmacology• Management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and stroke• Effective communication as a member and leader of a resuscitation team

To receive an ACLS course completion card using this program, students must complete three parts:

• HeartCode ACLS Part 1. Upon successful completion of the online portion, including the written exam, students receive a Part 1 certificate of completion, which must be presented for parts 2 and 3.

• Part 2*, a hands-on skills practice session with an AHA ACLS Instructor or using a voice-assisted manikin (VAM) system

• Part 3*, a skills test with an AHA ACLS Instructor or using a VAM system

*Parts 2 and 3 should be completed in one “skills practice and testing” session.

This Instructor Course Tract is for those persons who wish to teach Basic Life Support and Heartsaver CPR and First Aid. Upon successful completion of the course and the succeeding student teaching requirements, the Instructor Candidate will obtain an American Heart Association instructor card that correlates to their current status (Either BLS HealthCare Provider or BLS HeartSaver). Instructor Candidates will be able to teach a CPR course using the video and lesson maps that are part of the appropriate CPR course instructor materials. Instructor candidates will also be able to use the new testing materials to conduct skills testing.

HeartCode® BLS is an official, self-directed, comprehensive eLearning program from the American Heart Association (AHA). This program uses eSimulation technology to present realistic patient scenarios. Students are presented with 5 BLS cases and an online multiple-choice written exam. While interacting with the program, students assess each patient, formulate a treatment plan based on 2010 BLS guidelines, and provide treatment. Successful completion of Part 1, the cognitive component, and Parts 2 and 3, skills practice and testing with an AHA BLS Instructor or a voice-assisted manikin (VAM) system, are the requirements for obtaining an AHA BLS Healthcare Provider course completion card.

Part 1, the cognitive portion of HeartCode® BLS, focuses on what healthcare providers need to know to perform CPR in a wide variety of in- and out-of hospital settings:

In Parts 2 and 3, the student will demonstrate proficiency in providing BLS skills, including prioritizing chest compressions and integrating AED use. Successful completion of Heartcode® BLS includes three course parts :

Part 1, online portion Part 2, a hands-on skills practice session using a VAM or with an authorized AHA BLS Instructor Part 3, a skills test using a VAM or with an authorized AHA BLS Instructor
